My father and I just finished The Last Mapmaker by Christina Soontornvat.
In the Mangkon empire where lineage is everything, the only hope for a conman's
daughter is an adventure on the high seas to find and map a land out of
legend. Little did Sai, Assistant Mapmaker, know that she would also be
charting the courses of her beliefs both in herself and others, what she
wants versus what she knows is right, and truths about her homeland and
crew-mates. A splendid little Thai-inspired Fantasy
filled with storms, discoveries, and wrecks both on and off the ship,
this is a tale of self-exploration while boldly sailing into terra
incognita. Here Be Dragons; or better yet, Slakes.
Fare ye well Sai, Master Paiyoon, Bo, Captain Sangra, and the rest of the crew. Good job pulling the tail from the teeth.
